In India, doctors aren’t allowed to disclose this info to the parents until the child is born. Yet, female foeticide still exists here, especially in rural India.
I like the fact that Oak can see you fully and wholly, and instead of just making assumptions, he essentially asks for your pronouns. I thought that was sweet.
This is overwhelmingly true. My partner and I decided not to tell anyone our child’s name or sex until after birth. You’d think this was a form of psychological torture with the way some people acted. We had a little bit of fun after she was born telling people her gender-neutral name and watching people figure out how to specifically ask what her sex was.
My spouse and I had the doctor not tell us the sexes of our children. That way it wouldn’t bias us, they were fun surprises, and — most importantly — so nobody bought us a bunch of pointlessly gendered gifts.
If any readers are trying or expecting, I’d just suggest that you ask the doctor to say “they” or “it” every visit, since the doctor will certainly know and has a bazillion other patients.

Don’t people just look at the baby’s sex in the sonogram?
Common people don’t understand it, doctors are not allowed to disclose. Maybe they also hide some part of the sonogram?

I will not stand for Gen 1 Oak slander, the OG goat didn’t ask for your gender
Can verify, the gen 1 Oak just asked for your name.
And for his grandson’s name.
ah yes, his grandson bitch
No one knows who Professor Elm is.
And Oak might ask in one of the remakes?
